So you're suggesting we shouldn't be on the look-out for better solutions, because grandma won't use it right away? That's not how change will come.

- astrodust 13y agoEmail has been around for fifty years in various forms, and it could be around for fifty more. How it gets delivered, how it's secured, and how it's consumed will change, but the basic principle will stay the same. It's extremely rare to see a new technology take hold, the web and HTTP, instant messenger, and BitTorrent are anomalies. Stop trying to "disrupt" and "reboot" things and instead look to repair deficiencies in our existing technologies with backwards-compatible extensions instead of throwing them out.
